That king Deiotarus
the father, and also king Deiotarus the son, if they assist Caius Cassius,
proconsul, with their armies and treasures, as they have heretofore often
assisted the generals of the Roman people, will do a thing which will be
grateful to the senate and people of Rome; and that also, if the rest of the kings and tetrarchs and
governors in those districts do the same, the senate and people of Rome will not be forgetful of their loyalty
and kindness; and that Caius Pansa and Aulus Hirtius the consuls, one or both of
them, as it seems good to them, as soon as they have reestablished the republic,
shall at the earliest opportunity submit a motion to this order about the
consular and praetorian provinces; and that, in the meantime, the provinces
should continue to be governed by those officers by whom they are governed at
present, until a successor be appointed to each by a resolution of the
senate.”
